That looks pretty epic, damn. I've only done the cazenovia region a few years back. Just spoke with Gary about this ride.. it's tempting. Hahaha maybe I'll go bug him to get the tires on I just got in the mail

^^ I came home on foot one night last summer and noticed skunk smell. a home owner took a shovel to one and then dropped the carcass off across the street into a baseball diamond trash can. I don't think the police were called, and I can't say whether or not the animal suffered, or whether the...

Yeah, I was watching that video not too long ago while reading up on the Berik/Arlen Ness suits and remember seeing his head hit the side temple repeatedly while on the grass. Arai themselves replied to the "poor" side impact sharp tests, discussing the supposed "X" impact area, which is around...

I know a rider who got cut off/bumped by a car, into a curb as he left a left hand turn from a 1 way to a 1 way. He picked bike up, reset the key (tip over sensor) and went after it at 100kph and booted the power mirror clean off the rather expensive luxury car. Long story short, it turned out...

Arais are quality helmets, but I've heard they excell in front/rear impacts, rather than the sides, due to a thinner EPS at the side of the helmet -- probably why they don't do so well according to Sharp's side impact tests. I just ordered an AGV K-3 from Canadamotorcycle for the tune of $223...

Haha yea, I love mine.. the 600s feel like toys afterwards.. Handling isnt so bad on the 1000RR either, huh? Dunno if the new ones still come with a 190/50 .. once you put a 190/55 it definitely reminded me of my 600

I can see why you love the 2003 era R6.. I had one too and loved it for it's midrange! Having said that, go test ride the 2011 CBR 100RR ... I have an 08 and love it. The riding position is almost the same as the R6, so I'd have to say it's actually quite comfy. The exhaust is down low so...

Reminds me of a few years ago when I went to look at a ZX-10 (I've always wanted one of those) ... price seemed good (almost too good) and the bike looked pretty mint (daylight). Then, I find out some broken pieces of plastic near the rad and asked the seller if it had ever been...

I just put the Rotella T6 in the bike now.. it immediately revved higher by about 200 rpm before settling back to proper idle, but it seems more quiet than the Motul I had in there. I had to really put my head down and listen... vs before where it seems I could hear the valves/etc with my helmet...

Yeah,, I found some at Sturgess Cycle in Hamilton which I tried on.. you're right, they do cup the ears, but there's a bit of a gap i could feel between ear and skull which I have a feeling would let noise /wind in with my shaped head. The small and medium fit my head similarly, which was weird...

before buying another helmet that even fits right, check this handy website out that rates helmets on a 5 star system. It's pretty vigorous and helpful if you want the safest helmet in a world where all the helmets for sale are pretty much DOT/ECE/BSi, blah blah. http://sharp.direct.gov.uk/

I've been doing local rides with some local ppl, haven't seen anyone in that Dundurn/Main lot since last season. Bumped into a few guys at hess lot late at night after we're all done other rides or they bring the cage..

If you're interested in safety ratings, check out sharp helmet (google these two words) and you can pull up a pretty decent list of current helmets tested to a pretty crazy method. You'd be surprised by some of the ratings on several of the "top" helmet brands. Both Shark and AGV seem to be...

Who even has this thing? Every time I go to a shop (they all sell HJC) no one seems to carry this thing to try on... I was also interested

Nah, haha. Relax, your name is Mike, his isn't. He's crashed too many times now to count, last one I heard was t-boning a minivan while running from the police because his documents aren't/weren't legit. Those of us who have a shred of care for him, have pretty much asked him to stop...

Aw, not that guy AGAIN

This one made me laugh.. last season was quite interesting, early on at least.

1) Insurance decrease 2) I like bringing a gun to a "knife fight"

Close this thread.

LOL unless you're at Calabogie, most of the tracks on this side of the border that have been around a few years have just as many bumps, if not more than freshly paved roads on the street.. argument fail Waste my money? You're absolutely right. I'm better off saving my money and starting a...
